It doesn't help that Romney doesn't actually say what his 5 point policy is.

He's has told us his 5 Point strategy (Energy, trade, balance budget, something and something else (I forget the last two)) he's just never elucidated the individual points or how they will work or how they will work together.

Obama is doing quite the effecient job of one upping Romney on every response. Romney doesn't seem to want to go into the specifics on most anything he is outlining. Granted Obama hasn't gone gungho on any specifics either, but he is certainly doing it on more topics than Romney.

Yeah I was listening to the debate on the way home and wow at Romney's interruptions especially when Obama was trying to answer his own question about the oil production.

Not related to the debate but I heard a good joke that's relevant to the political situation.

Spoiler for Not totally relevant joke:

The Pope is visiting Obama at Camp David. They both enjoy fishing so they head out to the lake and fish for a while. A wind picks up and blows the pope's hat off and carries it off 20 or so feet out onto the water. The pope is upset over this but Obama says it's no problem and he'll go get it. Obama then steps out of the boat onto the water and walks over to the hat where he picks it up and then walks back to the boat. Of course since paparazzi are everywhere something like this doesn't go unseen and the next day on Fox News the article is "The President can't swim"
